The Benefits of great dental services

The Process

- Dental Care Plan: We’ll provide guidance on at-home dental care practices tailored to your pet’s needs.
- Follow-up: Regular follow-up appointments may be recommended to monitor your pet’s dental health.
Our dentistry service can help with:

“We have had a very poorly dog for 2 months, one thing lead to another.
Shepton Vets have been amazing… many…many phone calls, sometimes 3 visits a day, calls at midnight, getting the vet out, Greg and his team have been through this with us all the way.
My dog is now well, and a shining star at the vets. I’ve aged 10 years but without the team at Shepton Vets it might be a different story.
Highly Recommended.”

Rosie the lovely tortoiseshell female cat (with attitude!)
Her owner noticed that she was having difficulty eating and one of her lower canine teeth was at an abnormal angle. On examination it was clear that the tooth was broken and the loose part was removed.
